I need some simple free software for browsing and viewing pictures on
an iMac. Something like the functionality of the Windows XP explorer
thumbnail / filmstrip viewer at a minimum, perhaps with the ability to
resize photos and simple effects also.

The system is an earlier iMac (I think it's a 333 CPU) with an older
version of OS X, possibly Panther.

It's funny that there isn't anything even as good as Konqueror good
around. Perhaps I should write one Or, you could install the KDE
libs and Konqueror...

Here's the best I've found for browsing your disk with thumbnails, as
opposed to browsing a photo collection (which iPhoto does pretty well
anyway):

http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocoviewx/

The thhumbnails on the left hand side are small by default but you can
drag the column biggerrand it's quite usable then -- on small
directories at least.

Be warned that if you go into a large directory both it and WindowServer
will grab many hundreds of MB of RAM. I just tried on a directory with
10,000 pics and CocoViewX went out to 1.19 GB and WindowServer to 2.24
GB and it's sluggish as hell. Quit the program and WindowServer goes
back to 326 MB...

Actually ... gbrowser isn't too bad:

Is there any way I can make the pictures larger in Konq? I have a few
hundred I want to sort through and they're a tad small to see what they are
and drag 'em to the right directory. It would be easier if they were 2-4cm
in size

PAM.

The pictures? ITYM the thumbnails. And, yes, I've often wanted to
see larger thumbnails in konqueror.

You could use View | Icon Size | Huge
Making sure View | Preview | Images
is selected

The best way to get the right answer on usenet is to post the wrong one.

Alas. That is what it is currently.
I'd like to see View | Icon Size | _Custom_
...and specify a max pixel width and height.
